GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL in New York is one of the world’s greatest landmarks, an architectural marvel that serves shoppers, diners, subway riders, customers and visitors.

Grand Central Station, or shortened to simply Grand Central, is a commuter rail terminal station at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan in New York City. It has served as a backdrop in several films including Hitchcock's North by Northwest featuring Cary Grant and The Cotton Club starring Richard Gere.

The iconic building celebrates its 100th birthday today, and in our special gallery we take a look at its history from construction to modern day.
